Chapter 195 7 hours until the red moon
"More?" Xu Le was surprised.
Ai Li moved very quickly. She kicked the door of the cubicle, and the same body of the cleaning lady appeared in the cubicle.
The death state was the same as what they both saw just now, it was in a state of being eaten by some kind of creature, but the body of the blood dog was gone.
Seeing this, Xu Le did not hesitate and immediately shouted to the guard at the door:
"Guard, something happened."
With the alarm sounds from Ai Li and Xu Le, the guards on duty rushed over quickly. After seeing the death of the cleaning lady, even these guards who had seen blood couldn't help but frown.
This state of being eaten is a bit too bloody.
"Ms. Alley, Mr. Xu Le, how did you find out that there was something going on here?"
Facing the guard's question, Xu Le hesitated slightly and did not choose to answer.
He came to the window and looked downstairs. The weird situation of chasing each other did not appear. Although there was a bit more solemnity on the streets of Zion, that was because the dark tide was approaching and the people were preparing for it. Caused by preparations for the Kuroshio.
Xu Le suddenly felt distrustful of the people here.
It's not that there must be something wrong with the guards here, but the situation just now is definitely abnormal.
"Where's Dr. Xia?"
"Today is the 29th. Every day on this day, Dr. Xia will go to a church in District 1 to pray. This is something everyone knows."
Xu Le nodded. Was it because he knew that Xia Libo was not here today that he took action today?
Suddenly, in Xu Le's perception, the person with extraordinary psychic abilities was approaching, and soon, he appeared at the door of the toilet.
[Zhang Nuoan, Gu Yin has many descendants - puppets. 】
"What happened?" Zhang Nuoan glanced at Xu Le and Ai Li, then turned to the guard aside.
"A murder occurred here. Law enforcement officers and other colleagues have been notified. They will arrive soon."
When the guard looked at Zhang Nuoan, his expression was a little fearful.
Although they are both senior researchers studying Gu Yinduo, in the eyes of soldiers and law enforcers, Zhang Nuoan and Xia Libo are completely different beings.
Xia Libo was polite and peaceful to everyone. Although his appearance was slightly ugly, anyone who came into contact with Xia Libo would never dislike this man full of inspirational stories.
But Zhang Nuoan is different. His good looks will only be reserved for those who are valuable.
People like guards are of little value in Zhang Nuoan's eyes, even inferior to law enforcers, so Zhang Nuoan's attitude towards guards has never been very good.
Zhang Nuoan nodded indifferently and said proactively:
"I'll check the body."
"Yes." The guard nodded.
Afterwards, Zhang Nuoan came to the body, put on a mask and gloves, and quickly inspected the body of the cleaning staff.
"The cleaning staff, ordinary people, had obvious electric current burns on their bodies, but the fatal wound was caused by the severed artery in the neck and excessive blood loss..."
Zhang Nuoan's fingers quickly moved around the body, looking very professional.
Xu Le watched all this silently and said nothing.
Zhang Nuoan's behavior was strange, he acted too calm.
In fact, this is not the case at all. Under the observation of Gu Yinduo Vision, Zhang Nuoan's anima has always been in a state of exceeding level 1 alert.
This means that he is in a situation where he will attract weirdness anytime and anywhere. Although he has no intention of continuing to rise, there is no tendency to come down either.
This was completely different from the calmness he showed.
If Xu Le couldn't sense other people's anima, he might actually be deceived by him.
Zhang Nuoan looked at Xu Le and Ai Li. When his eyes moved towards Ai Li, his gloomy eyes barely concealed anything.
"You two are really inseparable now."
Ai Li glanced at Xu Le, who lowered his head in embarrassment, but she didn't show any shameful expression.
She already had a clear conscience, so why should she care about Zhang Nuoan's words?
"Thank you for your gift."
"Such a big change occurred during the quarantine period. I'm afraid your quarantine period will be extended."
Alley raised his head slightly.
"Whether to extend the quarantine period is a matter for Dr. Xia to decide. If he has any specific arrangements, I will naturally obey them without your interference."
"Heh, okay."
Zhang Nuoan left, not forgetting to look at Xu Le before leaving, which was meaningful.
After he left, Xu Le whispered:
"He took something from the body, but I don't know what it was. I think what happened just now has something to do with him."
Ai Li frowned slightly. In her impression, Zhang Nuoan was not that powerful. The amount of spiritual energy required to construct such an entire illusion was immeasurable.
"Do you think Zhang Nuoan did what happened just now? I know him to a certain extent. The span of this kind of ability is a bit too big. Zhang Nuoan didn't have this strength before..."
"How much do you know about his strength?"
"We often competed in the past two years, but he would always lose to me. His fighting methods tend to be healing, poisonous, and explosive. This is what he has been hiding. If you fight with him, be sure to pay attention to explosives. ability."
"blasting……"
Xu Le nodded and started thinking.
He can't say that Alley's judgment is wrong. Zhang Nuoan is really suspicious. His behavior has many flaws and loopholes.
However, the abilities he displayed, as well as his own status, barely concealed those loopholes.
His weird behavior only started after he got the mark of the puppet, and if the mark of the puppet can be traced back to the source, it is traceable, and that is Alley.
After the puppet mark on Ai Li was removed, the pieces of meat with the mark were distributed to the researchers, and Zhang Nuoan was one of them.
Xu Le didn't know what these researchers would do with Alley's marked flesh and blood.
But there are more or less taboos in the research on Guyinduo.
It is not impossible that Zhang Nuoan was contaminated during the research process.
After obtaining the mark, something should have happened to Zhang Nuoan. Xu Le even speculated whether the puppet took the initiative to contact him.
The son of Gu Yinduo will not contact all the mark bearers. For example, Gu Beichen has the mark of Light Cast on his body, but he has not been contacted by Light Cast.
Alley has the mark of the puppets, but she has not been contacted by the puppets either.
If Zhang Nuoan is really contacted by the puppet, the puppet should tell him to do something and give him some benefits.
For example, some abilities related to puppets!
Casting illusions itself is one of the abilities that puppets have shown, and the corpse that suddenly moves is very much like a puppet controlled by silk threads.
Although until now, all this has been made up by Xu Le's head.
But Xu Le felt that even if he guessed wrong, he probably wouldn't be wrong by many.
Thinking of this, Xu Le smiled and said:
"Perhaps Director Zhang Nuoan developed something amazing after getting your mark."
Ai Li frowned slightly, she already had a vague feeling about Xu Le's thoughts.
If it was before, she might have tried to persuade him a little, but this time she didn't try to persuade him again, there was no need to say anything.
"Tell Dr. Xia Libo when he comes back."
"It's natural."
After ending the episode of this incident, Xu Le pondered for a while and decided to give Secretary Liu a break.
After dialing Li Wen's communication number, just as Xu Le expected, the person who answered the call was Secretary Liu.
"Three people died." Secretary Liu said directly.
Xu Le:? ?
You said it before I even asked. It makes me look stupid.
"Does Secretary Liu know everything?"
"Not everyone knows, do you think it's Zhang Nuo'an?"
"Well, he is very suspicious."
"You should handle this kind of thing yourself. I've been very busy these days and I don't have time to take care of your things."
Watch and handle it yourself? This concept is very vague!
If he kills Zhang Nuoan, will he be punished or dealt with by Zion Progressives?
It would be great if there was evidence, but if he couldn't find the evidence, wouldn't he take action? This would definitely not work!
That guy Zhang Nuo'an must die, whether it's because of the previous festival, his status as Gu Yinduo's heir, or because today's events are related to him.
Any one of these conditions could be the reason for Xu Le to kill him.
Many thoughts flashed through Xu Le's mind, but he suddenly realized that these thoughts of his would be noticed by Secretary Liu?
Secretary Liu should also be a warlock, right? The kind of warlock who can detect other people's thoughts?
"Secretary Liu?" Xu Le asked tentatively.
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Secretary Liu said suddenly.
Xu Le:......
Secretary Liu is really upright.
However, this attitude is almost the same as approval, but there is no explicit affirmation.
After all, if something goes wrong, the leader will not take the blame and will understand everything.
"I understand what you mean. Oh, by the way, is there anything Secretary Liu can tell me about this black tide?"
Things like connections are meant to be used. Only when they are used are they meaningful and called connections.
When Xu Le asked Secretary Liu for information, there was no ambiguity at all.
Secretary Liu pondered for a while before saying solemnly:
"Be more prepared for defense. If this black tide continues to increase in intensity like last time, I'm afraid the army won't be able to deal with it too carefully."
Xu Le heard a hint of fatigue in Secretary Liu's tone:
"I understand, thank you Secretary Liu."
Hanging up the communication, Xu Le returned to the ward.
After he came back this time, he no longer even thought about dual cultivation.
Lying on the bed, turning on the ethereal state, Xu Le began to think about Zhang Nuoan's solution.
The puppet's illusions will have elements of reality, and there will be some reflections between the illusions and the real world, but not many places.
Zhang Nuoan's control over illusions is not strong. It can be seen from the previous faucet and smell that his illusions are not perfect and have many flaws.
Of course, maybe it's because he's not skilled enough.
Killing a level 3 warlock and Zion Progressive researcher without evidence will naturally lead to great responsibility.
The rule of law in Zion is much better than that of Lighthouse. Although there are classes here, the rights and interests of the people will be protected by law. This is the foundation of Zion.
Even members of Congress cannot trample on the law at will.
The most reasonable way Xu Le could come up with was to actively let Zhang Nuoan drag him into the illusion, then lock him in the illusion and kill him.
He can also use illusions to detonate anima energy and establish the core of Guyinduo anima energy, which is not affected by reality.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.
Xu Le had no way of knowing whether Zhang Nuoan would continue to attack him.
Moreover, I learned about this matter and met with Xia Libo. Maybe Xia Libo would take action directly and deal with Zhang Nuoan.
After making a plan, Xu Le began to think about the abilities and strength Zhang Nuoan might have, as well as the changes he might encounter in the battle.
With this thought, it was time for Xia Libo to come back in the evening.
"Mr. Xu Le, Miss Alley."
"Dr. Xia is here." Xu Le immediately stopped thinking and said with a smile.
"I heard something happened this afternoon." Xia Libo asked.
"Dr. Xia, I think Director Zhang Nuoan's behavior is a bit suspicious. You'd better pay attention."
Xu Le told Xia Libo everything about Zhang Nuoan's performance in the afternoon.
Xia Libo pondered slightly after hearing this.
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Xu Le for your careful observation. I will handle this matter."
"Tomorrow will be the 48-hour quarantine period. Does Alley still need to extend the quarantine?"
Xia Libo did not answer immediately. He walked to Alley and motioned for Alley to extend his hand.
After Alley did so, Xia Libo used a thimble to take some blood from Alley's fingertip, and then placed it on his yellow-green ball.
"No, Miss Alley's condition is normal and healthy, and there is no need to continue to be isolated.
You can leave as usual tomorrow. You can also take some time to prepare for the Kuroshio. This time the Kuroshio will probably not be easy. "
Speaking of Kuroshio, Xia Libo seemed to have received some news and sent a kind reminder to Xu Le and the others.
"Thank you, Doctor Xia."
"You are welcome."
With Xia Libo's confirmation, Xu Le knew that if they did not continue to be isolated tomorrow, Zhang Nuoan would most likely attack them when they left.
Of course, it's just a possibility.
Xu Le had been thinking about possible situations, but Alley came to him quietly and asked in a rare initiative:
"Xu Le, are you still practicing today?"
"Ah? You must practice to practice. If you don't practice for one day, it will be like three autumns!"
Ai Li knew that there was ambiguity in Xu Le's words, but she did not refute it. She took the initiative to find Xu Le because she had something to say to Xu Le.
Gouzi was sitting by the window, and Xu Le was leaning on her. It was obvious that he was only interested in stroking the dog's hair and was not serious about practicing.
"Xu Le, are you thinking about how to deal with Zhang Nuo'an?"
"Ah? How could such a thing happen? Director Zhang is a level 3 warlock. I am level 2. I cannot be his opponent. You overestimate me."
Xu Le didn't know that the more he explained at this time, the more guilty he seemed.
He was already thinking about Gouzi's words to dissuade him, but Gouzi pondered for a while and suddenly said:
"Be careful."
"Ah?" Xu Le felt something was wrong, and his prediction was wrong again.
"Um, why don't you stop me?"
"If I stop you, will you give up?"
"Haha, maybe I will, I'm easy to talk to." Xu Le laughed twice.
Alley also shook his head:
"Zhang Nuoan has changed. Even if you are willing to give up, he will not give up. It is useless to talk about this kind of thing, so be careful."
"Okay, thanks for reminding me."
Xu Le scratched the soft fur on the dog's belly to express his gratitude.
But Alley always felt that this guy did it on purpose.
"Hands down."
"Okay." Xu Le lowered his head and entered the honest person form.
…
On the afternoon of the 30th, Xu Le and Alley completed the discharge procedures. After greeting Xia Libo, they left the Zion Progressive Headquarters directly.
Wang Shu and the others were still waiting for him in the studio. In any case, his first goal was to survive the Red Moon Tribulation.
All other matters must be put aside, even Zhang Nuoan's matters.
After walking out of the Zion Progressive Building, Xu Le looked back at the 8th floor while standing on the road waiting for the bus.
He vaguely felt that someone was staring at him, whether it was Zhang Nuoan or Xia Libo.
Until Xu Le and Alley boarded the city bus, they did not encounter the expected attack.
"What a pity." Xu Le felt a little regretful. Zhang Nuoan was still a bit timid. If it had been him, he would have taken advantage of him.
"What's a pity?"
"Winter is here, and girls have more clothes. Crowding on the bus no longer feels like summer."
Alley:? ? ?
"Xu Le, if you do something outrageous on the bus, I will arrest you on the spot."
"You misunderstood me."
After the car drove for two stops, Alley stood up and said to Xu Le:
"I'll go home and get some equipment, and I'll meet you in the studio later."
Although the relationship between the two is good, they are still not relatives after all, and Xu Le has no reason to refuse Ai Li's return to get the equipment.
"Okay, then hurry up." Xu Le glanced at the time.
[Countdown to the Red Moon Tribulation: 7 hours, 22 minutes and 16 seconds]
Alley raised his head slightly:
"knew."
The bus arrived at the next stop, and several more passengers got on the bus.
Xu Le took a look at the new passengers, then turned to look at the road signs on the highway, his eyes narrowed slightly.
[Zion Progressive Building Station]
He must have been on the bus for more than one stop, right? Alley got off at the 2nd stop, and then traveled to 1st stop. Although this is a city-circulating bus, it does not mean that it will go around Zion in 3 stops.
So the fantasy started unconsciously? Is this the opportunity for Alley to get off the bus?
Thinking about it, it is obviously much simpler to construct the illusion of one person than the illusion of two people.
And the bus environment is really clever.
Although it is a mobile space, it can be regarded as an independent area. The cost of constructing the illusion is much smaller than that of the entire 8th floor of Progress.
According to Zhang Nuoan's level 3 warlock strength, it is naturally much easier to control such a spatial range.
After Zhang Nuoan tried it once, he made rapid progress!
He truly deserves the name of a genius.
So, how should he find Zhang Nuoan?
Xu Le suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the car door and shouted:
"Driver, stop the car, I want to poop!"
